No results found.Located about 70 km north east from Hanoi, Vietnam, the villages of Xuan An and Ngoc Son (Bac Giang province) include 285 households. Rice is the main staple crop and its production extends for 98 ha, about 0.7 ha per household. Vegetables, mainly brassica species, tomatoes, herbs and potatoes are also produced on about 14 ha while fruit trees are grown in the house gardens. Local rice and vegetable production strongly relies on synthetic inputs specifically Nitrogen fertilizers and pesticides w hich increase production costs and raise concerns on the impact of farming on the environment and human health. Small scale livestock production systems are also part of the local agriculture and involve more than half of the families which raise pigs, chickens and ducks in the backyard.
